First, GO GATORS for their record-breaking 11-0 start. This is the most unselfish team I’ve ever seen.
Watching the game, I saw crowd behavior that’s always puzzled me: going crazy behind the basket during a free throw, attempting to distract the shooter.
Think about it from the player’s standpoint for a minute.
He sees an ocean of movement, with one fixed point of reference: the hoop.
Brownian-motion crowds are actually quite helpful to a player’s ability to see, and focus on, the basket.
If you want to mess someone up at the charity stripe, tilt yourself to the side about five degrees and sit perfectly still.
Now you must go forth, and use this power for good, not evil.
